IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL
Israel and Saudi Arabia are worried about the recently concluded “Joint Plan of Action” agreed to by Iran and six world powers, which halts Iran’s controversial nuclear program in return for easing some sanctions. Host Carol Castiel speaks with Graeme Bannerman, scholar at the Middle East Institute and Jonathan Schanzer, Vice President for Research at Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who spar over the promise and perils of this interim accord and prospects for a final agreement, as well as discuss its broader geopolitical implications for the region.
